Feedback and suggestions

1. Stories are either deleted when someone deletes their account, or they are deleted when inactive accounts are removed after 2 years.

2. We'll need to work out if there are enough force feeding stories to warrent a category of their own.

There really needs to be a way to select multiple people gaining and multiple themes. And Force feeding is a huge topic in a lot of these. Maybe a tagging system similar to AO3 or tumblr? The drop down is really limiting to authors and readers. In general the search function is way too broad.

"1. Stories are either deleted when someone deletes their account, or they are deleted when inactive accounts are removed after 2 years."

Is it actually necessary to delete stories under those conditions? Perhaps make it so that the stories CAN deleted, but are not deleted by default?

A lot of content is being lost this way.

I agree some good content can be lost, but new content is being uploaded daily to replace it. We just don't have the storage capacily to keep it all forever.

When user's delete their accounts it's because they want to remove themselves from the website, so we need to remove all of their content. They own the copyright so it's not for us to hold onto it.

If you see a story you really like, perhaps make a copy for your own personal use so that you don't loose it. Just remember not to publish it anywhere without the author's permission.

I understand about copyrights. That is why I was suggesting giving them the option to let stories remain. Lots of authors have shown up later looking for copies of their own stories a few years later.

I also get your point about storage capacity too ... although stories don't take up the kind of room that pictures do.

this.

If you're truly an admin guy - please hear me as a long time member we are so sad how awful "Chat" is now - no one likes the format and it crashes every three minutes ... real shame - community blown - any chance of going back?

The way the story section works now you can sort by “most recent”. Is there anyway that can just be for when somthing is actually added? Certain authors are just changing photos or I dunno, making it seem like their story has been edited so their few stories are ALWAYS at the top. And with the way the new story area works their stories take up nearly all of the first page.
I dunno, could there be a block filter so an author no longer shows up in searches? It’s reallt annoying to see the same set of stories by the same person at the top of the page every single time you log in and try and search for new stuff for recently updated stuff. They aren’t even actually updating they are just gaming the system to keep their stories on the front page.

Sounds like a great idea. I've made a note of this and will build it into the work program.

We have thousands of stories so there's probably many great stories buried deep within the site that no longer rise to the surface.

Maybe being able to sort by newest or oldest may help?
